Page vii The "burst" of laughter is not a single burst, a detached fragment, nor is it the essence of a burstit is the repetition of the burstingand the bursting of the repetition. It is the multiplicity of meanings as multiplicity and not as meaning or intention of meaning. Intention is abolished in laughter, it explodes there, and the pieces into which it bursts are what laughter laughslaughter, in which there is always more than one laugh. Jean-Luc Nancy, The Birth to Presence Perhaps we should not seek a word or concept for it, but rather recognize in the thought of community a theoretical excess (or more precisely, an excess in relation to the theoretical) that would oblige us to adopt another praxis of disclosure and community. Jean-Luc Nancy, The Inoperative Community [The university is] the place where writing loses its edge, knowledge its insomnia. Avital Ronell, "The Worst Neighborhoods of the Real"
